Project Professional 2021 vs Project Standard 2021
Project Standard 2021 covers core desktop project planning: schedules, Gantt charts, and reports. Project Professional 2021 adds resource management for building project teams, timesheets for capturing work time, task path highlighting, and team collaboration through Microsoft Teams (licensed separately). Choose Professional when you manage resources and teams, not just individual project plans.
